Atletico GO vs Olimpia – When Atletico Goianiense host Olimpia on Thursday, they’ll be on the verge of being knocked out of the Copa Sudamericana for the first time since 2012.
A 2-0 loss to Paraguay last week extended Dragao’s losing streak away from home to three games in all categories, their first shutout in the 2022 tournament.
Going into the Copa Sudamericana semifinals, Goianiense, like their domestic campaign, is fighting for its life after a lackluster attacking performance last Thursday, despite five shots on target.
They’ve been without a win in four straight games in all competitions as manager Jorginho has tried to find a solution to the team’s offensive woes. While Atletico Madrid’s two-goal disadvantage will be difficult to overcome, they can take inspiration from their group-stage performance as evidence that this gap is not insurmountable.
Atletico GO vs Olimpia – Betting Analysis
For the competition, they’ve gone undefeated at home, outscoring their opponents 8-2 and keeping two shutouts in their three games. There hasn’t been a win in almost every game since the beginning of June, and they are just one point ahead of Goias with one game left in the Brazilian top division.
This team bounced back in the first leg after losing the final leg of their Copa Libertadores campaign, losing by one goal, and put forth an amazing performance. When compared to their previous four round of 16 appearances at this competition, Paraguay has scored more goals in one match.
When it comes to defense, Olimpia is like other Paraguayan Primera Division teams, keeping a clean sheet in seven straight matches and registering back-to-back shutouts.
When Julio Cesar Caceres was brought in as head coach, it turned out to be a wise decision, as the 42-year-old has done an excellent job of enforcing order amongst his players and winning his fair share of loose balls in the middle of field.
While El Decano’s defense is rock-solid and they have scored the second-most goals in their domestic campaign despite this, they remain a dangerous attacking force (41).
